"In swa hwylce tiid swa ge mid treowe to me
on hyge hweorfað, ond ge hellfirena
sweartra geswicað, swa ic symle to eow
mid siblufan sona gecyrre
þurh milde mod. Ge beoð me siþþan
10
torhte tireadge talade ond rimde,
beorhte gebroþor on bearna stæl."
Uton we þy geornor gode oliccan,
firene feogan, friþes earnian,
duguðe to dryhtne, þenden us dæg scine,
15
